Peter Conway, Esq.,,
st. Paul, Mimi,
Dear Sir:-Upon my arrival home to-
day | found your letter, which accounts
for its not being answered sooner,
Your inquiries about the climate and
prospect of the North Pacific Coast, and
whether it will be good section for our
people to locate in? can only answer
for myself. My family is located on a
government homestead, of 100 acres in
the Western portion of the territory.
We came here from Missouri in 1883
and have no reason to regret our COM
ing. There is room to-day, in Western
Washington Territory for 1000 colored
families tc locate on government lands;
and, if they would leave the South, and
come to the North Pacific Coast, in four
or five years the question of the politi.
cal and social oppression of our people,
in the South, would be settled for all
time to come. There are number o
families now located here, most Of them
came from Alabama, some from Tenn
essee and some from Texas and other
parts of the country; all are doing well.
A few years longer and there will be no
government land left for native Ameri-
cans judging from the rate the foreigners
are taking it up. There will soon be
none left for our children. Now is the
time for our people to obtain these
lands in the territories. You can do no
better service for our race than to adj
wise them to come West or to the North
Pacific Coast.
Yours Respectfully.
JOHN N. Gonna.

The Grand Army of the Republic held
an encampment in New York, last
Wednesday, and Commanderin-C Chief
Fairchild in a speech denounced the
order of President Cleveland directing
tie Secretary of War to return all the
Confederate flags to the Southern States
from whose regiments they had been
captured during the rebellion, The one
armed leader entered the hall with
stern-set features and burst forth as
follows: "May God palsy the hand that
wrote the order; may God palsy the
brain that conceived it, and may God
palsy the tongue that dictated it,
''Thems our sentiments" also. The
trouble IN this country to-day has been
brought about by the wishey- washey
gusl and slush sentimental policy which
has been followed since the rebels were,
not conquered, but only forced to lay
down their arms. Had every man who
swore allegiance to the Confederate
government been for ever irrevocably
DISTINGUISHED and debarred from hold
ing any Office of honor trust or emolu-
ment in the United States, Cleveland
would not now be warming the presi-
dental chair nor would the most promi-
nent foreign missions be filled by ex-
Confederates. The country would be
Republican and the "Negro Problem''
would not be the great bug-bear that it
is at present. The old rebel spirit still
lives; and, while every Democrat was not
a rebel, the most of the ex-rebels are
now Democrats, and once they get the
entire control Of this country the pay
ment of the Confederate debt, the pay
ment for the slaves and the pensioning
of ex-Confederate soldiers is almost sure
to follow. "Straws show which way the
wind blows"

The Chicago Conservator heads one of
its columns Carrying the Banner in
which in humorous way it strike at
the methods adopted by various people
to reach certain ends For the past
week or two the esquire" has been
showing up the evils of the begging
system in vogue among the colored
churches, and also the "paradin" style
OF raising Sunday collections. We
heartily concur with the esquire" in
opposing the hawking of tickets and
punch" cards about our cities by our
women, exposing them to redicule and
insult; and, also to the destinations
method of 'paradin' up to the table to
make contributions to the Sunday col
lections. There is no christian charity
about such things, and they should be
stopped. Let each one do his or her
duty in the spirit taught by the bible:
Let not your left hand know what your
right hand doeth," and more good will
come from contributions made in that
way. The good effects of sermsns are
usually lost by the raising of money
after them in the manner now adopted,
and in the interest Of christianity it
should be stopped, and some other
system used.
A bill prohibiting the sale of tobacco
in any form to minors under sixteen
years of age has passed the Illinois leg
islature. The penalty is 800 for each
otfense. This is good move, when the
habit of using tobacco is contracted it is
very hard to break; and most youths
usually begin before they are sixteen or
not at all. This law may be the means
of saving many from the pernicious,
filthy and expensive habit Of using
tobacco for which they will be thankful
when they are old. 1t would be good
thing for many older folks if the raising,
manufacture and sale Of tabacco were
prohibited by law.

is not the right Of the saloon man to sell

causes the rumpus. The business OF the

A SPORTS LAMENT.

To the LI0H':
This is probably the first time that
have had r. course TO the press In order to
make known my grievances. The facts
In the case are these: Some years ago
a club composed OF leading sportsmen Of
San Antonio was organized, aud the
grounds known as Mitchell's pond, were
leased by the club as a game preserve.
The club In the goodness OF its heart,
voted some Of the prominent army Off
GERS located here, honorary members,
and extended.the courtesy Of the grounds
TO the olEcers OF Uncle Sans forces.
The lease lapsed, and for some time
afterwards, the ex-members Of
the defunot club, as well as
some OF the military gentle
men already alluded 10. frequented
the grounds on sporting trips and every
thing went well until the grounds were
10 turn leased by the army gentlemen
and parties who had been very prOmi-
nent in securing the preserve In the first
place have been notified that their pres
ence 10 not desired on the grounds and
intimating that they would be prosecu-
ted If caught trespassing there. Now,
Mr.. Editor, while recognizing the right
OF party to keep outsiders of ones
property, IL seems to me in very bad
taste for these gentlemen to exclude
from the grounds the very parties who
had so generously extended free invi-
tstion to those who now have posses
sion. SPORT.
